You looked for me, this morning by the sea*
In the seaweed and between the stones,
But you only found a silver fish,
His death made you cry bitterly.
You have Searched for me, in the house on the rock,
In the cellar, in rooms and chambers.
You found only dust, but no reason to cling to your hope.
[Chorus:]
You can't find me, I've been hiding,
I've covered your eyes with shadows.
You can't find me, you can't see me.
Close your eyes, count to ten again.
You looked for me among friends and enemies,
You bribed poets and judges,
But these and those were at a loss like you,
/>Now you count the days and weeks.
You have asked all the witches and magicians,
They read in balls and stars,
But false prophets never find me,
As long as they don't learn to search.
You can't find me, I'm hiding,
I've covered your eyes with shadows.
You can't find me, you can't see me.
/>Close your eyes, count to ten again.
Search in all the corners, search behind the hedges,
I'll hide and be silent.
Look over your shoulder, maybe I'll be there,
At the right time I will show myself.
You cannot find me, I have hidden myself,
I have covered your eyes with shadows.
You cannot find me, you can't see me.
Close your eyes, count to ten again.
